Radio Shack apparently decided that they were going to give up on the thing
and priced them to move! I got the Zoomer for $199 and a modem cable for $9!
Just ordered my $35 PCMCIA modem from Surplus Technology yesterday morning. I
love being able to outfit my new toy without having to go into the poor
house!! I spent half a day calling all of the RS stores here in Birmingham
(AL) and managed to grab the last one in town. There is a place in Nashville
called Wholesale supply company that has the Zoomer for $371.99. I don't know
how this compares with other prices. I had just started looking for a Zoomer
the day before I received the RS sale flyer! What luck! Wholesale's number is
1-800-962-9162, if you or anyone else is interested. The Zoomer has a
commanding lead in the race for my favorite between it and my Newton MP100!
Take care all.

Hi Dusti,
Where did you get this stuff at such good prices?
Thanks,
